48 Section 12 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting 111 If the LCD preview is not clear while shooting, how can the focus be adjusted? Try to switch between Macro and Auto Mode. 222 The flash is not working. The battery power is low. The camcorder is in DC power mode. 333 The files on the memory card do not display smoothly when the LCD shows the! marking. The! means the SD card is low speed or is having wrong content inside. The way to solve this condition is to format SD card by the camcorder instead of a PC (Please refer to the detailed Format instruction in Section 5). 444 Why is camcorder flash not active when taking pictures? In the flash auto mode, the camcorder flash fires ONLY when necessary (e.g. in the dark). 555 Why do some of my indoor pictures look blurry and dark? The camcorder extends picture exposure time under low light/ indoor condition. Keep the camcorder (and the target subject) steady for several seconds when taking pictures. The shutter will sound when pictures are being taken. 666 How do I charge battery? You must use the supplied AC charger or the USB cable. The camcorder must be turned OFF; blinking light confirms charging, and the light becomes constant when the charging has been completed. Then, the light will turn itself off automatically after 5 minutes (In AC charging Mode). 48
